The episode broadcast on the 7th of SBS's \"Whenever There's a Moment\" featured brothers Yang Se-hyung and Yang Se-chan as the guest pair.

The brothers said they often meet on days they aren't on air. \"Neither of us has a wide network,\" they said. \"So we tend to hang out in small groups with the comedians we're close to.\"

Yoo Jae-seok quipped, \"Or Dong-wook meets up with them,\" then turned to Yoo Yeon-seok: \"(Lee Dong-wook) is in your agency, right? Lee Kwang-soo, Yoo Yeon-seok and Lee Dong-wook — I helped shape them as variety talents. They're like my sons.\"

He added that they should personally thank the agency head. Yang Se-hyung joked, \"You must have a stake — send us some beef,\" prompting laughter in the studio.

\"Whenever There's a Moment\" airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on SBS.
